First-Night Audience Likes Performance of The Mikado Last night's opening perform ance of "TheMikado" at Church ill,hall, Southern Oregon college, proved again that you can't go wrong with Gilbert and Sulli van. The audience appreciated every moment of the lilting songs, the sharp humor and gay costumes of this' long-time fav orite comic opera. And the cast earned the en thusiastic rpplause of the au dience. Tresa Matlack, Medford soprano, is an utterly delightful Yum Yum. Mrs. Matlack's voice and appearance are both ideally suited to roles of this type, and she made a great hit with the opening night audience. Play ing opposite the lovely Yum Yum is Gene Brown as Nanki Poo and here again the casting directors were fortunate in that their hero not only has a fine tenor voice but makes a fine stage appearance as well. Richard Graham must have been very busy indeed these last few weeks for he had almost as many actual jobs in this pre sentation as he has in theory as Pooh-Bah, "lord high everything else." In addition to his out standing performance as the very aristocratic noble who can trace his ancestry back . to a "primordial protoplasmic, atomic gJobule," Graham served as stage director and also wrote some keen comedy lines for the songs of Ko-Ko and the Mikado. One reason why this comic opera remains such a favorite with audience is because of the two songs customarily re-written to bring the lines up to date and Graham ':scs them to good comedy vantages, taking cracks at senators and TV panel ists. t . , Stafford Thomas, an Austral- Please Read Our Ad on Page 1 (Second Section) I Honestly Believe It's the BEST Mattress Buy Ever Offered in Medford H.

No Down Payment, $8.75 Per Month ian studying at SOC, does an outstanding piece of comedy acting as Ko-Ko, the lord high cxcutioner who cannot bring himself to kill even a fly, and Donald Lewis is not far behind in his interpretation of the lesser role of the Mikado. - Frances Thrun, another Med ford singer known for her truly fine voice, plays the elderly Katisha, and teamed with Mrs. Matlack as the remaining "two little maids" are Ina Feero as Pitti-Sing and Helen Brown as Peep-Bo. , The cast is completed with William Hansen as Fish-lush, Lyman Pruitt as Go-To and Bev erly Bennett as the state um brella bearer. Both the men's and women's choruses are fine as far as their musical work goes, but their action last night vas somewhat disorganized and lackadaisical, something apt to happen on an opening night. Glenn Matthews . directs the fine small orchestra, and Car oline Andrews Werner coached the soloists. Mrs. Werner's in terest in and knowledge of "The Mikado" stems back to her girl hood days when her father Ed Andrews, playing with the An drews Opera compnay, was known far and wide for his portrayal of Ko-Ko. - Playing in the orchestra are Richard D. Werner, Dennis Han nan, Audrey Brist, violins; Ber nard Windt, cello; Delmar Myers, flute; Virginia Westerfield, clar inet; Clair Lorton, trumpet; Jack Scong, trombone; Milo Kubalek, percussion and . De lores Durham, piano. . Oscar Bjorlie is choral direc tor; Helen Robinson, planning director and Ruedi Vest, stage manager. The scenery for this produc tion of "The Mikado" is both colorful and artistic and the cos tumes, imported from Portland, are rich in appearance. Musicians and actors of the college and valley have put much hard work and time into this production, and it is hoped they will be repaid with larger audiences tonight and Saturday. Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. and tickets may be obtained in Med ford at Puruckers or at the door of Churchill hall. O.S.
